Hub You - Not All International Schools Are Created Equal - A Quick and Dirty Guide For Overseas Teachers
We are a migratory society. When we move, each of us goes about the joyous task of trying to get our mail forwarded to our new address. Ah, but what about your taxes?Moving is more or less the definition of misery. At least in my opinion. Simply put, I hate it. You probably feel the same or at least close. One of the problems I have with moving is dealing with my mail. Yes, I submit the forwarding notice to the post office, but they seem to take about 30 days to get around to it regardless of what date I list on the notice. This ultimately causes problems since bills usually have a date you have to pay by.If you moved last year, there is probably one other item you forgot to give notice on. Yep, your taxes. Despite the various conspiracy theories out there, the IRS is not watching you on a daily basis. If you moved, they probably don’t know about it. As we app

Along with the World Wide Web comes the popularity of information-based marketing or article marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques of getting targeted visitors to your web site and converting these visitors into buyers. This is why creative article writing, submission and publication are all so popular.There are already many software and web based tools available that writers can use to make the process of distributing their articles much easier but quality content written on a specific subject is invaluable in getting your content much more exposure. The fact is that there is nothing more important in your article distribution campaign than writing quality content that is interesting to your readers.Let us take a look first at the most common mistakes that writers make before submitting their content to article directories:
Of course, that is assuming you are already frothing at the mouth to kick-start your international teaching career and that you are looking for clarification of what international teaching is all about and how to break into this select group of educational professionals. If you are not, well why not? Using my teaching credentials to secure a job teaching abroad was the best career decision I have ever made.
But I digress… this is all about helping you get a handle on the different kinds of international schools there are who are looking for international teachers to staff them.
Privately Owned International Schools
Private international schools are essentially businesses with directors who are aiming to make a profit. There is a considerable amount of money to be made in providing private education in areas where the supply is less than demanded.
Many wealthy parents are demanding English language education for their children, and that has lead to the propagation of international schools. This is a particular feature of the Middle East and Asia, where new schools are starting up each year. The year I was looking for my current position there were a total of 5 new schools starting up in Dubai.
The good, the bad and the ugly of private international schools…
The Good - they are plentiful. There are a large number of private international schools to choose from. The Bad – While it is possible to balance good educational practice with the desire to make substantial profits, it is unlikely that in a knock down fight between the two that the goal of educating the students well will win. The Ugly – When a school’s continued survival, and consequently profit making potential, is dependent upon tuition money from students, how likely do you think it is that the school will expel students that are negatively affecting the learning of others?

If you are in need of a loan, sometimes the best place to find one is in your own community.

Many communities have programs which offer incentives for families who are considering buying a home in certain neighborhoods. Be sure to look into these programs and take advantage of them whenever possible.If you are not a first-time home buyer, look into urban renew

I recently heard a story about a woman who owned 84 mutual funds. So what, you might say? Well, having too many mutual funds can lead to several problems:Time crunch – difficulty finding the time to stay up on developments that could negatively impact your portfolio performance such as a fund manager retirement.Increased risk - due to overweighting in a particular stock owned by several different mutual funds.Diluted returns – if you have too many mutual funds, you could see the returns canceled by the losses in a one-to-one ratio such that your portfolio performance goes nowhere.Conventional investment wisdom tells us to diversify our holdings so that we minimize risk and maximize return. That is sound advice but exactly how many mutual funds should you own to achieve that diversification? The answer to this

When I first got my web site built, I thought I finally had a presence on-line. Wrong! I soon found out that I needed someone to host my site, and I needed a domain name.This, I found, was my moment of utter confusion. And my first thought was – “What have I gotten myself into!?” I realized I needed the following questions answered before I could even begin my on-line journey. What do I need in a web host,what is a web host, what is a domain name and – you mean, I have to pay for a domain name as well?What is a Domain?A domain name is a unique name that identifies an Internet site. Thus, if you want to do any on-line marketing you need a unique name to identify your business – and definitely a name that identifies or relates to that of your on-line presence.Do I really need a domain name? Yes. Why? There are several good reasons:

Some schools do not do a very good job of being an international school, rather they should be called English Speaking Schools. In fact, many schools springing up in the Middle East do call themselves just that because most of the students are local.
The student body of an international school should hail from outside the school’s host country. If the majority of the student body is local to the host country, then surely that negates it being an ‘international’ school?
Many international schools put a limit on the proportion of students that can come from the host country. These international schools often have a waiting list for local students.

The Good - once again, there are a lot of them around, all looking for international teachers. The Bad – instead of enjoying a multi-cultural classroom with students that are enthusiastic and all have different experiences to bring to class discussions. You will be teaching wealthy children who possibly have no concept of what it is like to have to do things like chores and who may not have any concept of the real world. The Ugly - you will be teaching a class full of students who will share a common language that you don’t understand, mono-lingual classes being taught subject specific content in a language that isn’t their own can be a real struggle. You are not going into international teaching to work harder than you do at home!
